Waiting on Wednesday: Fantasy Lovers Dream
“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we are eagerly anticipating. WOW is a great way to share the titles we’re excited to get our grubby little hands on.
This week we’re shining the bookish spotlight on a couple of awesome reads. Our first pick is from one of my all-time favorite series. Houck is a master storyteller that literally makes you feel like a character in the book as you devour each page. The second selection is totally new to me. The cover immediately caught my eye. Green is my fav color so I’m loving that as well as all the little creatures. The dragonfly and butterflies are too cool. What do you think? Enjoy!
Tiger’s Destiny
Release date: Sept. 4, 2012
With three of the goddess Durga’s quests behind them, only one prophecy now stands in the way of Kelsey, Ren, and Kishan breaking the tiger’s curse. But the trio’s greatest challenge awaits them: A life-endangering pursuit in search of Durga’s final gift, the Rope of Fire, on the Andaman Islands in the Bay of Bengal. It’s a race against time–and the evil sorcerer Lokesh–in this eagerly anticipated fourth volume in the bestselling “Tiger’s Curse” series, which pits good against evil, tests the bonds of love and loyalty, and finally reveals the tigers’ true destinies once and for all.
Splintered
Release date: Jan. 1, 2013
For sixteen years, Alyssa Gardner has lived with the stigma of being descended from Alice Liddell—the real life inspiration for Lewis Carroll’s famed novel, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. But cruel jokes about dormice and tea parties can’t compare to the fact that Alyssa hears the whispers of bugs and flowers… the same quirk which sent her mother to a mental institution years before.
When her mother takes a turn for the worse and the whispers grow too strong for Alyssa to bear, she seeks the origins of their family curse. A set of heirlooms and a moth tied to an unusual website lead Alyssa and her gorgeous best friend / secret crush, Jeb, down the rabbit hole into the real Wonderland, a place more twisted and eerie than Lewis Carroll ever let on.
There, creepy counterparts of the original fairytale crew reveal the purpose for Alyssa’s journey, and unless she fixes the things her great-great-great grandmother Alice put wrong, Wonderland will have her head.

I really have to get started on the Tiger Saga because I feel I’m missing out on a lot. And I like that you chose Splintered this week. I’ve seen that in another blogger’s WoW post 2 weeks ago and I can’t seem to stop wishing for it. Thanks for sharing, Jen!
Btw, here’s my WoW post this week:

I’m totally looking forward to Splintered! The cover is just gorgeous, and I’m in love with that synopsis. <3 It just sounds ah-mazing. Too bad 2013 can't get here sooner! It's too far away.
Fabulous picks!

Me too! I have a huge soft spot for fantasy.

You simply MUST read the Tiger Saga. Houck is brilliant and the descriptions put you right there in the action with the characters. Splintered does sound amazing.
June 27th, 2012 at 8:46 pm
It is a great cover. I highly recommend the Tiger Saga…it’s amazing.

I must live under a rock. I just found out about Splintered and the release date can’t arrive fast enough.
June 27th, 2012 at 8:49 pm
The cover is very different from a lot of the covers out there today. I hope it’s as good as it sounds.

I know. I wish that flipping the calendar to 2013 would do the trick. LOL. I’m loving the cover too…it’s absolutely gorgeous.
June 27th, 2012 at 8:53 pm
You’ll love it. It’s got a little slice of everything in it…romance, fantasy, action, and adventure. I’m in love with the series. LOL.
